Drive a stake-a piece OF fcnce-rali
will do-into the earth; saw of abont
four feet high; make low circular
ridge, like circus ring six feet IN al'
ameter around the stake; cover the
ground within the ring with thick
layer of dry pine straw; now place the
potatoes carefully, making tho hecp as
steep as possible. Cover with thick
layer of pine straw or corn-stalks reg
ularly disposed. If pine-s'raw be use.t
cover this with boards or pine bark
breaking joints. Then cover all with
q layer of soil TO be dug from immc-
diately around the base of the hill.
This layer should not be thick ut first,
but should be increased as cold wealth
or approaches until it finally attans y
thickness of foot or more. A small
opening may be left Mt the top. to be
protected from rain by piece of board
or bark. The object is to keep the
potatoes absolutely dry, and protected
from sudden changes or wide extremes
of heat and cold. Cut and bruised
tubcrs should be put in separate hill
and used first. Seed potatoes should
be chosen from the latest planted and
put in seed hill. Small potatoes arc
as good as any for seed, and 'go fur
tlcr" in supplying draws.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1887-11-02
Harvesting Sweet Potatoes.

Toward the latter part of the month
or during the first week in November.
the sweet potato crop should he dug.
The plant being perennial, including
the lubcr. yet cultivated as an annual,
there is no particular period rs to age
when the latter attains ripcncss. They
will keep well without regard to age
or size if the conditions ut the time of
digging and afterwarl are favorable.
The ground should be dry aud tho po-
tato in u state of suspended growth.
In regard to the age of the tubcr. ex-
perience proved that the product of
the latest planted patches keeps bet
ter than the earlier. Therefore the
tubers from the last paintings espe-
cia1ly if cut vines were used, should be
banked separately FOR next years seed.
For the hills select a high and dry
place, sandy or gravely soil preferred.
